To be honest, this is the dumbest and most selfish/selfserving I have ever heard. If you live in a country where emission is an issue(or atleast an environmental concern), then you would make your car illigal to drive, if you remove adblue. This is added to keep the cars CO2 emission to a tolerated level.
if this logic fact is lost on you… and your only concern is to save money - I litterally hope it backfires and that your car will get ruined.

Actually the SCR system adds (marginally) CO2 emissions. The purpose of this system is to reduce NOx emissions where it makes a huge difference.
In the US the car manufacturer would probably have to take care of the SCR system related faults for one half of the lifetime of the car. In Europe it may be only 2 years and faults appear to be very common on some models and the parts are ridiculously expensive, sometimes order times are several months. Makes many owners consider illegal options like AdBlue delete. I still agree with Jake 213. Also when selling the car the owner is anyway usually responsible of the emissions systems. If modified, the shop sends the repair bill to the previous owner and all the temporary savings get lost.
